Chapter Seventy-Two: The Battle of the Flesh and Blood Mill of the Tower River

In front of Tahe City, a black coffin, a young man with bundled hair, stood on it, the army formation behind him, the army roared, the stone rain hit the city, and the earth trembled.

"Know it with reason, lure it with profit, boost morale, and be strict with military discipline" Chen Daojian muttered, "With such a military appearance, why can't the city be restrained?" ”

The generals who watched the battle were like cold insects, and what they saw today will never be forgotten.

"It's a pity that such a general is going to take a scientific expedition," Tang Xiujing sighed at Fang Sihai.

"Such eloquence, it's just right to be a civil official" Fang Sihai disagreed, and drank a little wine leisurely.

"This Tianxing bewitches the army, but there is a hand," Cheng Peng's little grandfather is also drinking. He took turns off today, and he came to watch the game to work overtime.

"You blow a lot on weekdays," Duan Yundu said with a grin.

"None of them are as good as him," Qin Chong sighed.

The generals of the forbidden army are close to each other.

The catapult continued to bombard the city, and Dugu Tianxing sat on the top of the coffin, surrounded by a group of mercenaries from the thirteen divisions of Heishui on Temple Street.

"80,000 horses, if you can't attack the small Tahe, you will be killed in the city" Dugu Tianxing also took out a pot of wine and took a big sip.

There are 30,000 Blackwater troops, 10,000 Temple Street Zhechong Mansion, 30,000 soldiers from the 13 feudal divisions, and 10,000 mercenary regiments, but not 80,000, Da Xiong pinched his fingers and calculated.

"A team of 10,000 people, a group of two teams, each lining up, taking turns to fight, each group of two hours" Dugu Tianxing commanded, took out a stack of pieces of paper, and asked Yeluzhao to write the number, from one to eight.

Captain Tianxing crumpled the note into eight regiments and threw it into the air, and the eight leading generals reached out and grabbed it.

Spread out each and report the number they caught.

No. 1 was grabbed by Mo Han in the north of the mountain, and his face was pale.

The second number is the Iron Banner of the Captain of the Blackwater Army.

The third is Usukhamun in the western part of the ridge.

He is the prince of the country of ghosts.

Wu is the deputy governor of Ding Dayong of the Black Water Army.

Lu is Mo Gaogao, the captain of the Blackwater Army.

The number of Qi is the Murwei Department Mohofer.

The number is the temple street Zhechong Mansion Jin Yifeng.

"Do you want to do it again," Dugu Tianxing asked lightly.

"No," the eight shook their heads in unison.

"Okay, two teams next to each other in a group, each prepares, and attack immediately"

"Finally, I gave you a suggestion, it is best to designate a few successor commanders after you go back, and you can only keep the command smooth after you are killed."

The eight nodded and returned to the team solemnly.

Dugu Tianxing looked at Tahe City again, under the heavy blow of Shi Yu, except for sporadic ballista counterattacks, there were no Turkic defenders at the head of Tahe City.

On the tower on the gate of Tahe, Ashina Jishe was sitting upright, looking at the siege army formation in front of the city expressionlessly.

A few iron bands accompanied them, all of them with ugly faces.

"It's a matter of life and death, and it's time to fight for your life," Ashina Jisheh muttered to himself.

Ashina Jiji has a typical Turkic face, pure Ashina family characteristics, broad face and blue eyes, squinted eyes, flat nose, fiery red face, and sparse beard.

Ashina means pale wolf eyes, this is a soft forging slave, almost exterminated in the early days, a boy escaped, was rescued by a she-wolf, and matched, after the boy was killed, the she-wolf gave birth to ten sons in the north mountain of Gaochang country, and the offspring were bred and gradually prospered.

Looking at the young lieutenant on the black coffin, Ashina Ji's mind was complicated, from the Hailan bubble three years ago, the great magician demon wolf Tianxing rose like a comet, rebuilt the wolf group, contacted the thirteen departments of the Far East, prospered the temple street, and encroached on the Turkic strength, until today, the army is under the city of Tahe.

Demon wolf? Maybe it's the nemesis of the Golden Wolf, right?

The Demon Wolf Tianxing couldn't feel Ashina's hot eyes, but he felt that the siege time was up, and with a wave of his hand, a team of red-clothed men escorted many masked prisoners out of the ranks, this team of more than 200 people was the wolf regiment law enforcement team, the red wolf Leng Xuan's subordinates, Leng Xuan led the team to stop at the line of fire that was still burning.

The demon wolf pinched his hand, and the line of fire was abruptly extinguished, leaving only a long black line.

Leng Xuan's red-clothed team carried the prisoner in his hand, made him kneel facing the city wall, and wiped the horizontal knife in each hand on the prisoner's neck, more than 100 prisoners spurted blood from their necks, and then drooped again, and the executioner's hand loosened, and he fell to the ground limply.

The 10,000-person team led by Mo Han in the north of the mountain is the thirteen hybrid teams of the Far East, Tutuna of the northern branch of Ne, the support of the Wuluo Protectorate is also Hu, and the Hu Dulu of the Cave Department is the leader of the four divisions.

Tieqi, the commander of the Blackwater Army, was also a veteran of the rest of the three years ago, and the six regular soldiers of the Zhichong Mansion also slowly marched out of battle.

The first group of 20,000 people crossed the black line.

In the front row is a huge shield cart that is taller than a human head, two people push the shield, behind the shield are the crossbowmen, and then the sword and shield soldiers cover the first team to carry the ladder.

The siege team walked past the catapult, and the catapult gradually stopped, and the pace of the team increased.

Turkic crossbowmen appeared one after another at the head of the city, and the bed crossbow at the head of the Tahe city began to exert its might.

The catapult was already on the edge of a stone's throw away, and the siege party was within range of the defenders' crossbow bolts, and for a moment blood was splashed, and people were constantly penetrated and nailed to the ground.

The siege team galloped, the huge shields gathered at a distance of about twenty paces in front of the city, and the siege crossbowmen began to suppress the city.

The first troops rushed to the front of the city a few steps before erecting the ladder and swarming to climb it.

Immediately numerous garrisons were erected on the walls, and arrows rained down with stones the size of horses' heads.

The first team was instantly chaotic, with most of the dead and wounded.

Mo Han is the patriarch of the northern part of the mountain, tall and hairy, with a wolf skin jacket draped obliquely, revealing one arm, carrying a large horse chopping knife, and looking at the city viciously.

This group of Turkic defenders is well-armoured, and they do not dodge the siege arrows under the city, and the arrows are extremely accurate, and each arrow must hit one person, which seems to be the Turkic elite wolf soldiers.

The first group of siegers was almost destroyed, and the second team followed one after the other, and the defenders at the head of the city pushed and cut down the ladders with spears or scimitars with handles, and several ladders were knocked down.

Tahe City is built on the back of the mountain, surrounded by water on both sides, and the south city wall is about four or five miles long.

The Tang army's siege team was placed in turn, and more than 100 cloud ladders attached to the city wall, and they swarmed up first, like waves crashing on the shore.

Mo Han and Tie Qi didn't know that they had already boarded several batches of first, and the city was densely packed with corpses of the Tang army, and blood flowed like a river.

The support of the Uro Protector was also shot by an arrow and fell unconscious, and Heishui also killed several captains in the battle. Mo Han was ruthless and rushed to the cloud ladder with his own soldiers.

The siege crossbowmen kept shooting arrows, and they didn't care about the numbness and numbness of their arms, Mo Han reached the middle of the ladder in a blink of an eye, and the top one was close to the head of the city, and a long lance stabbed out, and fell down the ladder with a terrible scream.

The besieging Tang army was already red-eyed, and they only desperately moved forward to attack the city.

There was a bang bang at the head of the city, and countless cauldrons appeared at the head of the city, boiling oil tumbling down, pouring down, and screaming in front of the city broke through the sky.

Mo Han was splashed with a pot of boiling oil on his head, and then hit a few arrows, and died instantly.

The rest of the siege team was frightened, many crossbowmen threw down their bows, and the shield-bearers threw down their shield carts and ran back, several people were shot by the attack at the head of the city, and the rest ran back desperately.

As soon as the black line was reached, the red-clothed team standing in the black line struck with a knife light, and several people who escaped were instantly cut down and fell to the ground.

Dugu Tianxingpan sat on the black coffin, his face expressionless.

Mo Han, the captain of the No. 1 siege team, was killed, and Hu Dulu of the cave said that he was replaced.

In less than an hour, the first group of siege teams was gone.

At noon, the second group of siege teams took turns to attack, and the first group had been eliminated from one of four, with a loss of nearly 5,000.

At the time of Shen, the third group of siege teams attacked in turn, and the second group also lost one of seven, with a loss of nearly 3,000.

The defenders of Tahe were gradually exhausted, and Ding Dayong, the deputy governor of the Heishui Governor's Mansion, finally attacked the city, but unfortunately he insisted on less than a stick of incense.

It was already dark, and the fires in front of Tahe City were everywhere, shining as if it were day.

At that time, the fourth group of siege teams attacked in turn, and the third group went to one of them, losing nearly 2,000.

In one day of attack, the right army of Zhengmohe lost nearly 10,000.

The spectators will go from frightened to numb.

After a hasty dinner, the chief Dugu and the general Yan Junluan of Chen Daojian were both a little tired.

"In addition to employing people, this right army has no other way, and the Demon Wolf Grand Warlock is nothing more than that" This is the unanimous mentality of the generals watching the battle.

In the distance, the fire under the city of Tahe was soaring, the sound of fighting was endless, and the generals in the fort were numb and drank tea each other, each with their own thoughts.

"It seems that this is the case today, why don't Chen Jianjun go back to the camp to rest?" Dugu took a sip of tea.

"It's still early, it's not too late to wait for the front line to return" Chen Daojian military envoy was not in a hurry.

Before the tea was finished, a horse galloped closer, and sent to the front line of Tahe City to observe the sentinel returned.

"The great governor, the right army has landed in the city" did not dismount, and immediately the knight shouted.

"Who's the first?" The chief manager is interested.

"The Jumping Squad is lonely and lifeless, and the right Guoyi is a battle mania"

"Okay, let's explore again"

There was a burst of cheers in the Gangbao, the Temple Street Wolf Regiment still lived up to its reputation, and in less than an hour, it actually landed in the city, and the generals who thought that the demon wolf was just like this have changed.

"Congratulations to the Grand Administrator," the generals got up to congratulate the Grand Governor of Dugu.

"The Black Water Army and the Temple Street Zhichong Mansion live up to expectations," Chen Daojian also praised the military envoy, "The strong attack in the past eight hours has finally been rewarded."

Half an hour later, sentries continued to report that the area on the wall was expanding.

The generals in the fort were determined and began to talk and laugh.

Not long after returning to the front line, another horse galloped in.

"Report, Dugu Tianxing, the commander of Temple Street, ordered the troops to be collected, the right army withdrew from the city wall, and the whole army is returning to the camp."

"What?"

"What is Dugu Tianxing doing?"

There was a moment of astonishment in the fort, and after a moment of silence, the chief Dugu shouted angrily.

In front of Tahe City, the shouting of killing gradually stopped, and a group of tired Tang soldiers were hurriedly retreating.

Dugu Tianxing ignored the generals who hurriedly passed by the carriage, and continued to sit upright, his body was tall, thin and slightly tired.

"It's about to be captured, who gave the order to withdraw the troops?" The bloody wolf warrior ran in the air, thrust the slashing knife in his hand into the ground, and shouted loudly.

Dugu Tianxing didn't even glance at him, and continued to squint at Tahe City.

A few more horsemen galloped from the camp, and the leader turned over and dismounted, it was Li Xiancheng, the commander of the right army, the governor of Heishui.

"What's going on?" Li Dudu glanced at the wolf warrior who was jumping angrily, and looked back and asked.

"The time has not yet come" Dugu Tianxing took out the wine jug and took a sip.

"Haven't you already stormed the city?" Li Dudu's black face could not see joy and anger.

"Is Governor Li questioning?" The lone demon wolf's faint tone.

"Well, it's the chief manager who asked" Li Dudu's heart was a little tight.

"Tell them, it's not enough," Dugu Tianxing continued to answer lazily.

"Not enough?"

"Well, just those three words"

Li Dudu took a deep look at the lone demon wolf on the black coffin, turned around and led people away.

On the way, a group of men and horses passed him, and it was the leaders of the thirteen tribes of the Far East.

"Boss, I'm about to capture Tahe, why are you confused about the military order next time? How many brothers will die in the battle tomorrow? Our wolf group has just been rebuilt, and we can't stand the consumption! The war maniac continued to yell at his own commander.

Dugu Tianxing still ignored him, and Dugu God on the side swept over at a glance, cold, rebellious like a war maniac couldn't help but shrink his neck, and the power of the master of the Xuan Realm was depressing.

"Dugu Duwei, what's going on? Haven't you already taken the walls of Tahe? How did you order the withdrawal of troops? "The people of the thirteenth department approached, and before they could get off the horse, someone shouted.

Dugu Tianxing continued to sip wine.

After a while, nearly twenty people from the thirteen departments surrounded the carriage, all of them looking at the demon wolf Tianxing on the black coffin with angry faces.

"The time has not come, continue to attack the city tomorrow, and you will be able to take it" Dugu Tianxing glanced at the people around him, Mo Hefu, the patriarch of the Omurwei tribe, the patriarch of the western Lingxi tribe, Wu Su Kemeng, the Absili of the Luotan tribe, and Mo Han in the northern part of the mountain have been killed in battle, and the successors are his son Mo Duoduo, Tutun Ne, the support of the Wuluo Protector is also Hu, Hu Dulu of the Gushuo Department, Qicha Seymour of the Tieli Department, Abuli Ji of the Junli Department, Hulu of the Yu Lou Department, Agu Lang of the Heishui Department, Wulinda of the Simu Department, and Wu'er of the Moyu Ji Department. The rest are all thirteen ministers, old and fierce generals, and Ding Dayong, the general of the Blackwater Army who is leading the siege today, is also among them.

At this time, Jin Yifeng of the Temple Street Wolf Troupe, Dugu Wufang, Dugu Qiuqiu and others also surrounded him, and they didn't say anything, and looked coldly at the people of the Thirteen Far East Divisions who were excited.

The patriarch of the western part of the ridge, Wu Su Kemeng, is also the general who leads the siege today, grabbing the number three, the second batch of siege sequences, heavy losses, at this moment gritted his teeth, "Dugu Duwei, today's siege, a certain unit suffered heavy losses, seeing that Tahe City was about to be taken, but I heard that the commander ordered the withdrawal of troops and abandoned the occupied city wall, if the siege continues tomorrow, the loss will be even worse than today, hope that the captain will give an explanation?" ”

"Yes, the city wall is captured and then abandoned, and I don't know how many brothers will be killed and injured tomorrow, Dugu Duwei will give an explanation?" The support of the Wuluo Protector is also a relative of Wu Sukemeng, and he immediately shouted and cheered.

"The time has not yet come," Demon Wolf Tianxing continued to respond calmly.

"Is it the time to siege the city? Or is it something else? "The Absli of the Lotan tribe are thin and speak eerily.

"Are you persecuted today?" Dugu Tianxing rolled his eyes and said blankly.

"A certain Far Eastern Ministers, for the Tang Dynasty to resist the Turks for many years, the imperial court conquered the Mohe, and a certain also did their best, Dugu Du Lieutenant ordered a certain to fight Tahe, and a certain and so did not have a word, but Dugu Du Lieutenant's military orders were repeated, obviously there was a certain intention of consumption, Dugu Du Lieutenant forgot that Hailan soaked three years ago?" Usukomon gritted his teeth and spoke.

Three years ago, Xu Qin, the general manager of the Tang Army, ordered the mercenary wolf regiment and the thirteen divisions to defend Hailan Pao in order to protect the retreat of the army.

"Why did Patriarch Usukomon say this?" Yuya shouted sharply at the Commander's Mansion, Wei Be, and Mo Hefu shouted.

"Dugu Duwei has ever said that there are a lot of people in the thirteen departments?" The support of the Uro Protector also asked through gritted teeth.

"Dugu Duwei is doing what Xu Qin was in charge of three years ago?" Absli of the Lotan Department continued to mend the sword.

"Hugh Dehu Hu" said Hu Delu in the cave.

"Captain Tianxing has been working hard for the benefit of a certain thirteen departments in the past three years, how can he do such a thing?"

"Captain Celestial Commander"

Mo Duoduo, Agu Lang and others reprimanded one after another, and the scene was chaotic for a while.

"Don't forget, Dugu Duwei is a Han after all," Absli of the Luotan Department said.

"Don't make any noise, listen to what Dugu Duwei says?" Mohorfer shouted.

Dugu Tianxing turned over and got out of the car, threw the wine jug to the big bear, and looked at everyone one by one with his back hand, his eyes were joking, all the thirteen were tall and strong, and he had to bow his head in the eyes of the great magician.
